[@cariceanderson5995]

@@mahld_Opulence I don’t mind at all. Yes, all the time. It is usually a topic of conversation. People want to know why you left the USA to come to South Africa and how you are finding SA. People also want to make sure you’re really American and not just an uppity South African who doesn’t want to speak vernacular. I had a great experience there. It really broadened my horizons and perspective. I met fantastic people, got a book publishing deal and my book was released earlier this year. SA has its challenges like any country. I was tired of dealing with those challenges and I was ready to be closer to family.

@@cariceanderson5995💯 And yes 😂its almost a thing, to "Verify" one's American😂It's the funniest when it's the kids awe and disbelief , When faced w an American This totally reminds me of an experience one time last year, I was in a taxi (I'm sure you're aware these are mini busses) and I normally speak with my people in vernacular not English, So I handed notes to him and said it R15 and he said he didn't understand and I'm like "what" 😂 how don't you understand, you Black. HE THEN CORRECTED ME and said no he's from the states, I laughed, Not because he's American or whatever but because the moment I speak vernacular I have to now speak English and when I speak English I'm constantly reminded I'm black and should speak mother tongue 😝 And there after that little second or two we conversed the whole way, I asked him questions as to what he's doing here(not being rude in Any way, Just out of interest) and he kindly laughed and said he was doing business this side, Flipping houses with his dad, So his dad was S.AFRICAN and his mama was American. So he was doing family business duties. At one point he himself stated which part of N.JERSEY he's from, Because he felt it was necessary for him to say it so people don't think he's just some random person claiming to be from the states without any clue of what they saying. So that was my experience... It's always so fascinating and cool to interact w Americans or any person who's not from my native country generally, just two completely different cultures coming into one conversation.

I am a South African, Im a traveller but honestly SA is Life, Such a unique country and culture!

[@candycrush5706]

We are all children of Africa we just have different skin tones that’s why they call us the rainbow nation. Be safe ❤️

[@madimabetebele4052]

As a South African watching this, this is beautiful. Everything in this video feels authentic to what South Africa is. Thank you for showcasing this.

[@tashthewriter]

South African here. I was groaning. I thought it was going to be another conceited vlog about our country. But it was a genuinely good vlog.

[@Advfox_sa]

The Gautrain is clean and the stations are quiet, they should have taken you to the other 1 just so you may get the real sense of things. 😅😅

The "gggahhhg...train", loved it! Also, edibles are all good as weed is totally legal in SA. Absolutely LOVING your vlogs. As a South African, it makes me feel proud of our beautiful dynamic country and seeing someone with a platform like yours being so open to experiencing it authentically. Not a forced way of trying everything like so many influencers. I hope you have the most incredible experiences here!

[@vuyolwethumtshaka2234]

I am glad you are enjoying SA! Keep the vlogs coming! 🇿🇦🇺🇲

[@neo5948]

You are such a beautiful tall glass of water 🤍 your height is really what stood out for me 🤞🏾 and this video is quite a delight to watch . An international person genuinely enjoying our country. Nando’s is a National favourite and very affordable 😅😋

[@LadyMargaretSteppin]

I like how your eating! The sad part is most ingredients that are allowed is America other countries will not let those food in!

[@ginalopes6083]

Carlton Centre is the second-tallest building. Located in downtown Joburg, it has an observation deck on the top floor that offers amazing views of the city.

It's a perfect fit. That song is tops. Shazam refused to help, do you know the song?

[@evemason3456]

I'm so happy for you! I hope you get to see and do amazing things while you're there.

[@bongimabaso1534]

KZbin suggested your video and I'm hooked! You are so lovable - also I'm glad Southy Ah is good to you 😘

[@thesewcialitesza]

Love this video. I love the fact that you also play the type of music we listen to here in the video. I get a real "this is home" kind of feeling. It really makes me miss Jo'burg though! I'm not far, I'm in Pretoria but this Jozigirl misses her hometown. Well done

[@JulianAlbino]

Yes! Thank you!

[@bukeaor2961]

You know you are in South Africa 🇿🇦 when the music is Ampiano !!! Yaaaas !! Overall great showcase of both sides of South Africa 🇿🇦!! Now to get Souvenirs ( Curio Stuff) , ask to go to the market that sells such ! They are normally open / closed off markets with a Plathera of African Artifacts !! Each African country has one snd I know the one in JoBurg is 💣 💥! Thank me later cheers 🥂! Side note One’s heart comes Alive in Africa ! motherland !! Love 💕 it !!

[@KatlegoTlhabanelo]

Welcome to SA bro, I'm glad KZbin recommended your channel and I've just subscribed. This the content I signed up for 🕺🏾🕺🏾✌🏾

Thank you! 🙏🏽

I love how the comment section is filled with South Africans, wishing you a nice time❤😅

[@JabulileMathenjwa]

Welcome Tshepo (Hope) 😊 Haircut- Legends Barbers Accommodation- Sandton| Fourways| Waterfall| Randburg| Rosebank. Avoid the CBD (even Maboneng) for safety reasons. Since you are commuting, stick to places in the North of Johannesburg. Food: Try shiyanyama (braai meat) Entertainment: Kitcheners/ Great Dane in Braamfontein, Moja Cafe in Soweto, Maboneng, Rockets .... Other places- Visit Cape Town and Durban next

[@JulianAlbino]

Great suggestion! Thank you!

[@roblucci2366]

Take a bus to Durban, For the scenery and nature. When people talk about the beauty of South Africa they are normally referring to the landscape

[@Afrosoil11]

Nothing wrong with Maboneng even Jhb depends which part of jhb you go to. Only advice will be to go with South African. Maboneng has more people outside SA. Even beyonce went to cbd just next Maboneng

[@Peterjev6]

As a Nigerian, I appreciate the store in Soweto playing Nigerian Music. Asa’s No one knows tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥

[@nkazimulomakhanya6431]

We love Nigerian music here in SA, we play it a lot
